Funnily enough, styled-components in React does allow me to focus on the semantics meaning without worrying about the style.

> Does it though? Is there such thing as a low-trade programmer? I am not implying that programming is low trade. It's just nowadays, some people's perception of that term is being a code monkey.

For me it's video games. I do have my music and drawing hobby to compete against it though.

Then perhaps we need a better version of democracy. Or a better system of government altogether. I am hopeful that human civilization and ingenuity can invent or discover that. I am just not confident that it would be anytime soon.

Even though I am not a Go player, it is concerning. This because now money comes into play rather than just raw skill. Picture a brilliant but poor player. How would that person fare against someone who has a good AI to practice against?

Not having to learn yet another tempting language is why I vastly prefer React. JSX is just JS.

Yeah. I have put my plans for overseas vacations and switching jobs on hold. Not a good time to do so those things.

Maybe a good rule of thumb is to sit down, do an instropection on all the things you love and identify the one that assures the most financial stability and security. Choose that thing as your job and make the rest your hobbies.

As someone who is just starting out on synths on the software side, I think the barrier of entry is more on how to operate this things. The amount of things a layman needs to learn is mind blowing.

I digress but I am really interested in your experience as both dev and design as I am going in this path too. How did you juggle acquiring skills for both roles? Also, where there times you had to struggle between the two mindsets on a tas
